2. Unzip.
3. Extract a copy of store.php from under the unzipped subdirectory _th\lib
4. Edit your copy of store.php to add your username(s) and password(s). Find the line $USERS = array( 'UserName1'=>'Password1', etc) and replace Username1 and Password1 with your desired username and password
   • Make sure you leave all the punctuation and code, such as the single quotes, intact
5. Save the file
6. Using FTP or your web interface, upload store.php to your server. Make sure that the filename is correct
   • If you've uploaded the file correctly you should be able to view it in your browser (eg, http://example.com/store.php)
7. In TiddlyWiki, go to the Saving tab of the control panel and enter the following information:

Note about maximum size

As your TW file increases in size, you may need to modify your .htaccess or htaccess file (depending on system) to increase the value of the maximum upload and/or post size. Check with your Web Host Provider for your particular settings. Be sure also to make backups before experiementing. On some systems, the settings might look like:

php_value upload_max_filesize 4M
php_value post_max_size 6M

Note about possible error message

If you get an error message regarding split(), you may need to change references to split in store.php to function explode .
